I've been reading not to test until 12DPO. I was wondering could I test the 7th. My period is due the 11th. Here's some info

25th = Fertile
26th = More Fertile
27th = Most Fertile
28th = Ovulation.

If I tested the 7th I'd be 8DPO, but 4 days before my period. So should I test then or wait? I get paid weekly. The day my period should come I'd be 12DPO. Or do I start counting DPO from the 25th? I'm confused!

I'm still laughing that you put 'I get paid weekly' in your post. Sorry, but I've got the giggles today and can't make sense of that bit. You'll have to forgive me, I'm in a really good mood today. Read your own post again and I am sure you will laugh.

On a serious note though and to help you out, you should start counting days past ovulation (DPO) from the 29th as this is literally the first day past ovulation for you.

So yes on the 7th March you would be 8DPO.

It's really up to yourself when you test and there are pros and cons for which day you choose to start on. Statistically, the majority of positives are seen from 12DPO, with a small percentage of very lucky women getting positive HPT's from 10DPO and an even smaller percentage earlier than that again.

If you think you can handle negatives and not stress yourself out too much, then I say start at 8DPO. However if you have willpower and are sensible (unlike me) then you could wait for a more realistic date of 12DPO.

Let us know what you choose and good luck.

If you dont mind the BFNs and you like to POAS then you can go ahead and test from 8DPO. I did last cycle coz I had bought 25 cheapies and I like to POAS!!! I got my BFP at 11 DPO I think so its up to you.

The reason I said I get paid weekly is because I can buy another test the following week. I might just wait to the 14th, I was going to buy internet cheapies so I'd get 10 But what do people really think of internet cheapies?

I think they are great for POASaholics!! I didnt get a BFP on mine till 4 days after I got one on a CB digital but some girls get their BFP on them really quickly.
If you can handle the BFNs then get some!

Truefully i think if you testing early then the internet cheapies are no good... because you get so confused over the faint line you get.

I say hold off till 12 DPO the use a clearblue.... When is your DPO 12?

Good Luck x x x

I'm on a 28 day cycle, I ovulate around day 14. So I'm waiting until the 11th, the day I'm due. I can normally get a positive about 2-3 days prior to my period. Thank you for the advice ladies

I made a boo-boo I'm 10DPO from the 7th, not 7/8 days...
